If we as a planet unite and have 1 common objective there is nothing we can't achieve...

The problem is not with religion, it is with false religion. While Islam, Talmudic Judaism, and Catholicism/Protestantism is leading the world to war, the true followers of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, are remaining in peace.

Hmm... what bothers me about this thread.. I think its the way it espouses science, but doesn't really embrace it.
You wanna know a hard truth? I'll tell you one: The guy who blows himself up because somebody told him he'd get 72 virgins if he did? You know that guy? He had probably had access to science, to all the rest. His beliefs were a product of his cognitive abilities - which is to say he's dumb. Which is to say if you removed religion he would still be dumb. He would not be contributing to speed of light travel to get us to that star 5 light years away if he weren't reading the Koran.
So seriously, if you want to espouse science, come up with a way to cure that guy's dumbness. Seriously. Removing a religious narrative shared by dumbasses isn't going to get rid of dumbasses.

there...you said it all. Taking into account human species and all it's flaws...do you see that happening ? In a near future...Planet united ??? 1 common objective???
haha...watch it man...pretty soon you will be called a dirty commie Some people get goosebumps just seeing the term "common good", let alone working towards it.
Anyway...your plan for traveling the stars has only one option...and that's "not financially feasible..."

That is all.
